First-Person Data Explorer Will Become a Paid Game on August 24

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share an important update about First-Person Data Explorer.

On August 24th, 2026, FPDE will change from being a free game to a paid game. Its price will be $2.99 USD, with Steam regional pricing other currencies.

If you already have FPDE, nothing will change regarding your access. You will still be able to play it without purchasing it again. Also, until the change takes effect, anyone can grab it for free.

FPDE has grown enormously throughout Early Access, and this change is part of preparing the game for its official 1.0 release and support its continued development. It will remain a growing game with updates in the future!

Thank you for everyone who has played FPDE, shared feedback, or followed its development. Building this game has been a long and deeply meaningful journey - I am excited to bring it into its next chapter.
